Here's an article that describes the area better than I: https://matadornetwork.com/read/west-viriginia-town-weekend-escape/
The New River Gorge State Park is home to one of the largest aerial adventure parks in the United States. Located at Adventures on the Gorge, TreeTops is a half-day adventure of zip lines, sky bridges and rappelling with three short hikes thrown in for good measure. While Gravity Zip Lines offers about two miles of zip lines 200 feet in the air. The newest addition, TimberTrek Aerial Adventure Park offers an aerial obstacle course for enthusiasts of all ages. It offers four courses to challenge beginners as well as more experienced climbers.
Of course, the New River and the Gauley River continue to offer rafting enthusiasts - from novices to experts - some of the best white water rafting adventures in the world.
Other activities include, ATV tours, mountain biking, bridge walk tours, caving, bass and fly fishing, disc golf, hiking, horseback riding, jet boats, lake tours, paint ball, rock climbing, skeet & trap shooting, and paddle boarding.
Then again, guests may want to enjoy a day of golf and/or shopping. Nearby attractions, such as Pipestem Resort State Park, Glade Springs, or the Greenbrier Resort offer a number of golf packages to meet your needs. While Tamarack has wares hand crafted by West Virginia artisans and Fayetteville has a number of quaint shops for enthusiasts to enjoy.
But if you love photography or just want to relax in a peaceful, tranquil environment just sit back and take in the views. New River Gorge State Park, Hawks Nest State Park, Babcock State Park and Pipe Stem Resort State Park provide some of the most beautiful flora and fauna seen on the Eastern Seaboard.

About Adventures on the Gorge
Nestled on the rim of the New River Gorge, this authentic timber frame home, Martha's Place, was inspired by Martha Gaines Wehrle. Martha was born and raised in Fayette County, West Virginia. As a Congresswoman and Senator, her life's work included caring for and nurturing her home and its residents. Martha's Place was aptly named as it encompassed her strength, her natural beauty and grace, and her endless effort to protect all she loved about her home, West Virginia. Martha's Place is located off the beaten path in Wild Rock, a community whose design guidelines call for the use of long-lifespan materials, such as local lumber and stone. Materials utilized in the construction of this vacation rental home. To leave the lightest environmental footprint possible, Wild Rock also insists on the most efficient use of natural resources. Homes must be oriented in the New River Gorge National Park to take advantage of prevailing winds, sun angles and shade from surrounding vegetation. These home site practices help preserve the natural beauty of the New River Gorge and surrounding area.
Adventures on the Gorge purchased this House in 2008
